Playing safety as a freshman, Ganus picked off a pass against South Carolina’s Connor Shaw. Going up against Arkansas’ mammoth offensive line this season, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Ganus had 11 tackles and two tackles for loss including a sack.

Of course, that’s not exactly the same as facing off against the same eight weeks out of the regular season. But he sounds like he’s up for it.

“It will be different playing teams like that every week, but I will also have a full offseason and summer and fall camp to get ready for it. I definitely think I’ll be up for the challenge.”

I don’t know why, but I actually feel like Pruitt will have capable options to fill the ILB slots next season. Between the new arrivals and the two backups who’ve been waiting their turns, don’t think there will be much of a drop off from two of the most productive players Georgia’s had on defense the past couple of seasons.

It was the briefest of conversations, but Damian Swann got a chance Saturday to talk again with Todd Grantham. The two ran into each other at a luncheon as part of Belk Bowl festivities.

“He was in line. And I was trying to get back to my food,” Swann said. “So it was kinda like, ‘Hey coach how you doing?’ Just a cordial greeting.”

Everyone has been trying to emphasize cordial feelings when it comes to the Grantham story. He spent four seasons as Georgia’s defensive coordinator before bolting for the same job at Louisville in January. But no bad blood remains, everyone claims.

Georgia head coach Mark Richt ran into Grantham at a coaches reception Friday night. The two and their wives said hello to each other, as well.

That is so nice. It would have been a lot more fun if someone offered to perform the Heimlich maneuver if Grantham looked like he was choking again.
